My son has been attending Peppermint Patty’s for 6 months and I could not be happier with the care and education that he is receiving. One of the most important things to me when considering care for my children is if the people caring for my kids enjoy what they do. The director and teachers at Peppermint Patty’s truly care about the safety, comfort, and education of all of the children at the center. I can go to work comfortably, knowing that my son is in good hands. I am grateful to have found them!

We have know the owners of Peppermint Patty's for over 15 years. They have the highest level of intergrity, character and honesty of any friend. If there is an issue of leadership or questionable decisions being made they will address it head on and expeditiously The owners have the highest standards, intergrity and character strengths both personally and in regards to how they operate their business. These strengths are magified because of their passion for the children in their school. I have 100% certainity that if an employee has stepped out of line or crossed a line professionally, ethically or other, they will be dealt with accordingly if the allegations made on this review site are not false or made with malicious intent.

I am so sorry to hear about some people's less than average experience with Peppermint Patty's. I have known the owners personally for many years, and can't commend their dedication and professionalism enough! I think no one can fully be shielded from a mistake, unfortunately. But PP is hands down one of the best places for for your child, nationwide!

Great preschool! Since my daughter started here last spring she has learned so much academically and socially. All of the teachers and staff working there are great. I definitely recommend Peppermint Pattys to everyone for day care and preschool!

I have had the pleasure of providing services to Peppermint Patty's for several years. The facility is always very well maintained and clean and the staff is friendly and courteous. The staff does an excellent job working children at all ages. I personally was impressed with the amount of learning that takes place at Peppermint Patty’s and how patient and compassionate the staff was when working with the little ones. There is no doubt that your children will be well cared for at Peppermint Patty’s.

I am a huge fan of Peppermint Patty s, all 3 of my boys have gone here (my youngest still attends) It s very warm and welcoming and the teachers are great, everyone has noticed how much my 2 year old s vocabulary has improved which goes to show they really work with the kids!! I would and have in the past recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable daycare that also serves as a preschool!!!

I love Peppermint Patty's!!! The staff, the learning program, the location! My daughter is 7 now and has gone there since she was 14 months and my son is 3 1/2 and has been there sine he was a year...they both love it and the teachers! The staff always keeps me informed on what is going on, with the education part but also with the behavorial. It is the communication that helps me know that i have my kids at the best possible place! The director has wonderful ideas and keeps me informed as well. the teacher/kid ratio is perfect...i love the garden and meal plans...my daughter went into kindergarten with knowledge that was above the other students.

kids are happy

My kids have attended Peppermint Patty's for a year now, and they are happy kids who have learned a lot. Their favorite part about this facility is the garden. They love one of the teachers, Miss Jesse, and they talk about her all the time. I'm glad we chose this facility, and am confident they will be ready to start kindergarden next year.

I appreciate the way my Peppermint Patty's encourages the kids to build character and independence. The teachers really care about the kids and I am always hearing at home about how much my daughter loves Miss Teri and Miss Jessi and Miss Courtney. The school has a wonderful and large outdoor area where the kids can safely ride bikes (they even have street signs and learn traffic directions on the bike path) far from the street under shade trees, climb playground equipment, and help in the vegetable garden. I am really excited to see how much more my daughter advances in the next year as she prepares for kindergarten.

Take your children here at you...

Take your children here at your own risk. I was pleased at first with the care my child was receiving, but as he moved up through the school I was less then impressed with the way the teachers treated my son. I frequently heard them yelling at children and telling them to stop crying. When I expressed my concerns excuses were made for what I had witnessed. I removed my child from this center and he is now enrolled elsewhere.

This was the worst daycare I have ever seen! The director was confortational, and aggressive! I was told my four year old son should be HEAVILY medicated, and is completely disruptive. When I asked if there were anyother options, I was told yes, find a new daycare... I emplore you, IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN DON'T PUT THEM IN THE CARE OF THESE HORRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!

Great setting & a loving environment!

I have been taking my foster daughter here since May 2010. I have watched her blossom & grow like you would not believe under the wonder guidance of her teachers. The staff is caring & knowledgeable and willing to work with you regarding any issues! LOVE this place! I drive out of my way & past many other day cares to get to this one!

Three and Five

I have two kids that go here and if it were not for this preschool setting, I do not think that my five year old would be ready for school.
